In a time when Pakistan cricket seems to be caught in a whirlwind of change, former all-rounder Imad Wasim has stepped forward to back two of the team’s biggest names — Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.
While the cricketing world debates their future in the T20I setup, Imad has one simple message: “Trust them, they’ve got what it takes.”
A Vote of Confidence, Not Criticism
In a recent interview with a local sports platform, Imad cleared the air on the growing narrative around Babar and Rizwan’s roles in Pakistan’s T20 future. His comments were refreshingly honest — but also respectful.
“I’m specifically talking about T20 cricket,” Imad said. “They’re such big players and such big names — not just for Pakistan but for the fans. People want to see them evolve and succeed in this format.”
While some interpreted his earlier remarks as criticism, Imad explained that his views were meant to spark introspection, not stir controversy.
Babar’s ODI and Test Legacy is Untouchable
Imad Wasim made it crystal clear — Babar Azam’s place in ODI and Test cricket isn’t up for debate.
“Babar has one of the best ODI records in the world. He’s not going anywhere. In 50-over cricket, you need anchors, you need players who can build innings, and Babar does it better than most,” he stated.
In essence, Imad’s point wasn’t about whether Babar belongs, but where his game needs to evolve, especially in the high-paced, ever-changing world of T20 cricket.
T20 Is a Different Beast
With T20 cricket demanding constant innovation, intent, and adaptability, Imad believes it’s the right time for senior players to reflect.
“If they’re willing to change — if they want to adapt — I’m happy for them. They have the skill. I know they can do it. And if they turn up and prove everyone wrong, I’ll be the first one to praise them,” he added.
This isn’t criticism. It’s a challenge from a teammate who’s seen the grind, felt the pressure, and knows the demands of modern T20 cricket.
A Team in Transition — But Not Without Its Pillars
With Pakistan cricket seemingly heading toward a generational shift, conversations about the roles of established stars like Babar and Rizwan are inevitable.
But Imad’s voice stands out — not because it’s loud, but because it’s measured, fair, and rooted in belief. He isn’t asking for blind loyalty. He’s calling for patience, perspective, and the kind of support that true champions deserve when they’re down.
Imad Wasim, a T20 specialist himself, isn’t asking fans to ignore flaws. He’s asking them to trust in the process — and in the players who’ve already brought them countless moments of joy.
